Front end development is with React. Although experience in this tech stack is desirable, we encourage applications from all development backgrounds. Why Rolls-Royce? Rolls-Royce is one of the most enduring and iconic brands in the world and has been at the forefront of innovation for over a century. We design, build and service systems that provide critical power to customers where safety and reliability are paramount.

The Software Engineer is responsible for the on-time delivery and quality of the software and the artefacts associated with the design and verification of the software system. This shall be achieved through decomposition of designs and development of tests and analysis to ensure that the implementation satisfies the requirements allocated to the software. Developing web applications for the upload, processing, and visualization of complex manufacturing datasets. Aggregating data to aid product manufacture, helping to reduce risk, time and cost in our products. Modernizing our processes and methods, acting as an ambassador for software and digital methods. As a senior software engineer, you will seek to mentor and upskill junior colleagues, through maintaining technical development, guiding process compliance, and supporting wellbeing. Who we're looking for: At Rolls-Royce we put safety first, do the right thing, keep it simple and make a difference. These principles form the behaviours that guide us and are an essential component of our assessment process. Demonstrable long-term experience of software development in a commercial environment, preferably in fields with a focus on compliance (Financial services, medical, engineering, etc.). A numerate, degree level education (Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering) or equivalent experience. Committed to developing high quality code that is interpretable, documented and tested. Taking responsibility to steer the governance and continuous improvement of these processes. With the support of the product owner, you will be keen to work with a range of customers from operations and engineering to elicit requirements and translate them to traceable code. Designing and architecting solutions for long-term stability and maintainability. Have a delivery focused mindset, able to make decisions that make best compromises between complexity and shipping value. Experience of automation in the context of software development and deployment lifecycle. Demonstrable leadership attributes. This need not be a direct team leader or managerial role, but the behaviours and values commensurate with a senior position. We are an equal opportunities employer. We're committed to developing a diverse workforce and an inclusive working environment. We believe that people from different backgrounds and cultures give us different perspectives which are crucial to innovation and problem solving. We believe the more diverse perspectives we have, the more successful we'll be.
